In this 2 hour workshop, you will get a short intro into how to use design to create local impact for the global goals. You will get familiar with tools from the Design Method Toolkit, and experience how design can offer a common language to share ideas and get different stakeholders to the table.

Together, we look at what challenges you experience within your workfield, and how they relate to the Global Goals. Then we will take you through some of the tools of our toolkit, showing you how to create an effective design challenge, how to come up innovative ideas to solve it, and how to present them in a powerful way.

The challenges will serve as input for the Global Goals Jam, a global 2 day event in September in collaboration with UNDP, where multi-disciplinary teams design interventions for challenges related to the SDGs.
